According to Citi FM’s reporter, Franklin Badu Junior, Mr. Afoko's supporters numbering over 20 stormed the party’s headquarters around 12pm on Thursday to protest attempts to oust the National Chairman from office

Some supporters of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Chairman, Paul Afoko, have clashed with the security group guarding the party’s headquarters.

The security group guarding the party’s headquarters who were armed with clubs and horse whips chased them out. Two persons are reported injured.

About 15 policemen are at the scene to prevent further clashes.

The internal wrangling in NPP, according to pundits, has reached a crisis point after the party’s Upper East regional chairman, Adams Mahama died following an acid attack last week. Fingers are already pointing at Mr. Afoko and General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong as masterminds of the murder, but the duo have denied any involvement. Council of Elders of the party is asking the two to step aside for peace to prevail in the party.
